McMinnville, Tennessee

DISQUALIFIED.      

Never have I seen a town so committed to revitalizing its downtown. Their improvements include numerous flower beds and trees, fountains, wrought iron benches, reproduction commercial signage, brick pavers and cobblestone-like stamped concrete sidewalks, and the most expensive reproduction antique lamp posts I have seen. While I applaud their efforts, the town lacks historic buildings and interesting architecture necessary to attract tourists.
